Nominations Committee Selection Guidelines Candidates for ISOC Trustee should have a demonstrable involvement in the Internet. Such involvement may range from participation as a technology developer, researcher, user, network operator, policy maker (e.g., in government), sponsor of research and development. ISOC is interested in broadly-based representation on the Board of Trustees and seeks to identify candidates from industry, education and non-profit sectors and from government. The selection criteria will be directed to selecting a broad range of interests, and will include criteria of regional location, current activities, relevant experience and professional background. Candidates should be aware that board members responsibilities include the fiscal management of the society, fundraising, and participation in 2 to 3 board meeting per year (one at the site of the annual INET conference), and frequent interaction via E-Mail. No compensation is available for either time spent or travel costs. This is a volunteer position. A minimum of 7 candidates, and up to 10 candidates, will be selected by this committee, using the criteria as outlined above. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ C.
